Supply and installation of multiple high voltage and low voltage electrodes and earth grid. The project involved drilling to install the electrodes, preparing the electrode inspection pits, excavating and back filling trenches, exothermic welding for electrode connection, and 3 pole FOB testing.
Challenge: With the project being within the rail corridor, Earthing Solutions had to undertake all excavation works with an excavator fitted with a slew limiter to ensure safety on site.
Result: The project was safely executed on time and on budget.
